Child flown to Saginaw following crash

(LAMPTTE TOWNSHIP) -- A 5-year old child was flown to Covenant Hospital in Saginaw Saturday following a roll over crash at the intersection of Germania and Mushroom Roads in Sanilac County's Lamotte Township. Sheriff's deputies say the crash took place shortly before 7 p.m. when an SUV driven by George Kile of Deford struck a pickup and trailer that was parked in the roadway. The truck and trailer, owned by Jean Smith of Snover, had broken down and were left roadside while arrangements were being made to remove them. The collision caused the SUV to overturn. Both Kile and his 5-year old passenger were transported to Marlette Regional Hospital for treatment. The little boy was later flown to Saginaw for further treatment. Both Kile and Smith were issued citations. Sheriff's deputies were assisted by the Lamotte Township Fire Department and Marlette EMS.
